Two charged in Greenwood shooting

Two men suspected in a May 18 shooting in Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood have been charged with assault.

King County prosecutors contend Yusuf H. Shire and Mohamed Ibrahim opened fire on a group of young men following a brief interaction near the corner of North 86th Street and Fremont Avenue North. One man was shot in the arm during the shooting, which occurred at 1:15 a.m.

According to charging papers, Shire had a brief exchange with one of the victims before pulling a pistol and firing into the air. Shire, a 20-year-old Tukwila resident, is alleged to have then opened fire on the three other men.

One of the men was shot in the arm. According to charging papers, another dove for cover as Ibrahim closed on him, pistol firing.

Ibrahim, a 26-year-old Seattle resident, and Shire then fled the area in a waiting car, a Seattle detective told the court. One of the alleged victims told police he believed Shire and Ibrahim planned the attack and hoped to kill him and his friends.

Shire was arrested the day of the shooting, while Ibrahim was arrested Wednesday. Both men have been charged with two counts of first-degree assault and unlawful gun possession, and remain jailed on $1 million bail.
